  Odd that there was no base Françoise, but if we add it, then de Galard means that one can use ĐBP names (discounting the bordel personnel, who probably did not have french given names) for numeric encoding as follows:

    0  Geneviève
    1  Anne-Marie
    2  Beatrice
    3  Claudine
    4  Dominique
    5  Eliane
    6  (Françoise)
    7  Gabrielle
    8  Huguette
    9  Isabelle
  

  (other languages don't mention opium, but https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlacht_um_Điện_Biên_Phủ claims the local harvest had something to do with the location, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sip_Song_Chau_Tai#Tai_Federati... also mentions the trade)
